## Summary

Oklahoma State lost 51-49 to Iowa State after a late touchdown briefly put the Cowboys ahead, but a penalty on receiver Wyatt Young helped give the Cyclones better field position for their winning drive. The incident drew attention because Young’s celebration came with less than a minute left in a close game, and the loss further damaged Oklahoma State’s hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff.

Young was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after shouting at Iowa State fans, including children, following his second touchdown. The penalty moved the ensuing kickoff back 15 yards; after a return, Iowa State started at its own 37, gained 33 yards on the first play and kicked the winning field goal with two seconds left. Young apologised to supporters, teammates and coaches, while head coach Eric Morris called it “the most selfish penalty ever”; Oklahoma State fell to 5-3.
